Ramblings

Herein lies a problem: theologians and historians make me nauseated.  This reminds me of the dribble that Seminarians get to dig through.  I sat under Stanley Hauerwas in a class in college and would that such an experience would not happen again.  Alan, you may know of the Sunday School nature of the Colson Center's research these days, and in 2020 it added to my nausea.  Christian worldview was essential to me then, but they failed to address the real issues of that critical time in American history.  Then was the turning point at which major spending in trillions of dollars would be doled out to punks who would learn to sit at home and play their videogames instead of learning ways to make their own money. (see this video: https://www.google.com/search?q=prager+u+video+adam+corola+i+don%27t+care+how+you+feel+learn+what+to+do+with+your+life&oq=prager+u+video+adam+corola+i+don%27t+care+how+you+feel+learn+what+to+do+with+your+life&aqs=chrome..69i57.53785j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:4748c90f,vid:8i6LA-7mi9M)  This is when I realized that we are in a more serious problem than is addressed by competing ideologies or even competing worldviews. All Hell broke loose when our government gave way to stupidity and the enabling of generations, making them dependent on the government. There is no mystery here, and it should have been addressed by those within the confines of producing Christian worldview literature. 

I digress; it is time to peel our shield off the wall and go out into the world bearing God's Word, with the helmet of salvation, and the rest, getting to work on refitting our lackadaisical and inherently flawed system of addressing real-world problems. This whole experience of the past few years has propelled me toward thoughts of getting into the fray of political speech writing or running myself.  I have an extravagant vocabulary but need to work on organizational skills. I must be an okay writer, having been published in multiple journals, both on the Left and the Right, over the years. 

I return to the original point about theological studies; it was exasperating to me as a young man and turns my stomach now. I do not care how you dress the animal up these days; it is the same as it was in the 1980s when I studied it. Phil, after Advent and Christmas, we could look at Matthew 11 in Koine Greek and other relevant passages if you like.  That's it; it's all about the Word of God (not theologically speaking, though). I hope this letter has not meant you had to follow me down multiple or too many rabbit trails.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
